The honorary awarding of a member of the Azov Battalion (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) at the residence of the US President was commented by Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov. 

“This is a shame,” the Russian diplomat said. “It doesn’t fit in my head that Nazis can be honored within the walls of the White House,” Antonov expressed bewilderment.

As it became known, the International Women of Courage Award was presented on March 8 at the White House to Ukrainian citizen Yulia Paevskaya, a member of the Azov National Battalion (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation).

“For those who don’t know,” the source recalls, “Payevskaya, with the call sign Taira, is a Ukrainian terrorist thug whose hands are stained with the blood of old men, women and children.”
